Cigarette smoking has become a very popular phenomenon in our
environment, especially here, in Indonesia. A source has
mentioned that Indonesia is in the third position for the country
that has a big amount of smokers, after China and India. There
are 97 billion people that have become secondhand smokers because
they cannot escape from smoke. However, there are a lot of
smokers that smoke in public area which are actually even have

How many of you guys who don’t know what hand phone is? I guess I
can surely say that hand phone has become one of the important
parts of our life, and even some us cannot afford to live without
handphone. Nowadays, we are more likely not only talking about
hand phone, but most of us already use smartphone. Many
applications are offered in order to show us the easiness to do
something, especially to communicate. Whatsapp, LINE, KakaoTalk,
WeChat, iMessage – I’m sure we must h...

We have just celebrated The International Day of Girls. Instead
of talking about girls, I want to make it wider, as this is also
for woman, or girls in any age. Girls are usually identical with
the word ‘beauty’. We will take a look for awhile “the kinds of
beauty” in several places.
According to some websites, an ethnic group in Ethiopia believe
that the more scars that a girl has in her body the better. The
girls even often scratch their body in order to get the scars....

Education is one of the most important things to make a better
society. I said this a lot even in some of my previous posts.
When we are talking about education, most of us will directly
think that it has always been school. It is not wrong, but I want
to remind you that education started at home. Family, especially
parents, play a key role in educating the children, transmitting
values, norms, and knowledge.
Parents are the first person that the children know, and parents

Education has become the most happening issue in our world. There
are some problems that are brought in the field of education,
both for the low-income society or middle-to-high income society.
The problems also come both from the students and teachers. The
inequality to get the same chance for having education, lack of
teachers, schools that cannot afford for proper facilities...
name it! There are still a lot of problems. However, we can infer
that education does matter, wherever...

Everything is about digital nowadays. Technology, especially
internet, has helped us a lot in doing many things. The most
common thing that has been shared is information.
The easiness to share everything is used by many people for
education, too. You can find a lot of digital books in so many
versions, and even you can download it for free. You also can
download any presentations if you want to learn simpler.
Sometimes, we find it hard to buy the books because somehow the
cost...

It’s This-able!
Talking about 'diff-ability' is something that is quite sensitive
in our environment. On the other hand, actually we do not need to
feel sorry to show our empathy. What matters is that we treat
everybody in the same way, that’s how we appreciate each other.
Take a look at Mr. Djumono. He is one of the candidates to be one
of the members in legislative assembly for West Java province. He
is also the only person with diff-ability that goes as the

There is a school in South Sulawesi called SMKN 1 Pinarang that
opens a method called Garbage Bank. Garbage Bank is a system that
actually runs a simple rule like the real bank, where you can get
money as you invest your trash in that bank. The trash that can

give will be weighted and you will get the money depends on the
weight of your trash. The principal of this schoo...
